The obvious device of allowing an undercover cop to liaise in the undercover world with someone she knows from her non-undercover life kind of ruined this book for me. It was clear that this would compromise the operation and it did. I was just kind of waiting for it to happen.

Holy cow that was good. Very gripping. I did guess why Carol’s mission had started, but even so - incredible plotting by Val.

Highly awesome to listen to. Two storylines going at the same time, sometimes intertwining with the characters overlapping. Excellent and can't wait til more show up on my wishlist with SimplyAudio
